TEACHING STAFF
The teachers at the Yoga Arts Academy have a minimum of three years experience in the theory, practise and teaching of Sakshin Ghatashta Yoga.
PRAHLAD
Prahlad has been studying and practicing Yoga for more than twenty years under the guidance of Shandor Remete. He has been teaching for the last seventeen years in Europe, the Middle East, the United States and Australia. In 1994 he founded the Hatha Yoga Institute in Cologne, Germany. In 1998 Prahlad founded the Yoga Arts Academy in Melbourne, Australia.
Prahlad was introduced to Shandor when he was seventeen years old. After four years of initial training in Yoga, he joined Shandor in Sydney for a three year Yoga Apprenticeship involving sixteen hours a day of practice, study and teaching.
On the completion of his training Prahlad spent a year in India deepening his understanding of meditation and accepted Sannyas with the enlightened master Osho. Through the study of classical hatha yoga texts and inspiration from Osho and Shandor, Prahlad developed the Sakshin Ghatastha Yoga style.
